I never listened to metal before I met my DH in '88, I was a strictly new wave/punk person. Shortly after we got together and I started going to his band practices, I learned to appreciate metal. Megadeth was one of those first bands I learned to love along with (primarily) Metallica and Anthrax (still love Scott Ian to this day!).
DH has been pretty appethetic over the years about Metallica and Megadeth because his band for 4 yrs. in HS played their music mostly and he got burned out. I on the other hand never became desensitized to it because it was all new to me when I first heard it. However, he has said to me that James and Dave etc. are starting to go back or at least sound like their original roots in their new music. I hope so because that is the sound I learned to love and although it's dated now, it's still IMHO the heart of metal music.
PS: Just to throw a few more of my favorite bands out there from that era: Primus (still love Les and Co. to this day), Queensrhyche (horrible sp I know), and Flotsem and Jetsom (for a very limited selection).
